"Hi Zeus."
"Jerry what is all this?"
"This is our story so far. This is an apology. This is me begging and pleading with you to hear me out and don't leave me. This me fighting for you, for us."
Zaire turned around and I was so scared. My dad and mom were about to step in but I stopped them with a look, if he was going to go I would let him. I watched as the seconds ticked away and I was hearing my heart break slowly. I didn't want to see him actual walk out the door but he did and the door clicked. I drop the flowers and to my knees. He actually left he didn't let me explain and apologize. I ruined us and I was ruined.
"I guess that was goodbye."
"I thought we said forever and always?"
I throw my head up and see that he didn't leave but just closed the doors and walked over to me. I take a quick glance at my parents and they are sneaking out but also giving me a thumbs and whispered good lucks.
"You didn't leave?"
"I didn't leave I just didn't want everyone to hear you r apology."
"I…"
"Don't tell me you're at a loss for words because I believe I'm here to get an apology from you."
I look down and take a breath; this was my moment of truth.
"To start off thank you for coming and these are for you," I say handing him the flowers.
"Thank you."
"I wanted to start off by saying that from the first time I met you I knew you were something special. I didn't know it then but I fell in love with you and I fell hard. I will also say that I am sorry and I know those words do not mean a damn thing but I hope that hearing them brings a small amount of ease. I am sorry for calling you a liar, for saying that you were using me and for breaking up with you. I never wanted to break up but I was so clouded with jealously and anger that I let the best thing that ever happen to me go. I brought you here today to show you that I do care and I do love you and I hope you still love me and continue to love but and take me back."
We stand up and I lead him all around the room. Walls are covered in pictures of places we talked about going, places we would just want to see. There are pictures of us laughing, at our games; there are even a couple of pictures of us caught just looking at each other. I wanted to him to see that I was listening, that I am in this till the end that I am in love with him. Once we are done going around the room I lead him back to the middle where I bring a picnic basket of food.
"I made us lunch.
"You made it?"
"Yes I d id but don't worry I had help."
"Good because honey we already know who would be cooking in our relationship."
"You said relationship, does that mean…"
"It means that I still am mad at you and it's going to take time for me to heal from the hurt but I'm willing to give us another shot."
I was so excited I throw my arms around him and we laugh placing kisses all over his face but in a serious tone, "I am sorry. I love you and I will prove to you day in and day out that I will never hurt you like this again."
"Good now kiss me because I missed you."
I lean down and I kiss him with all my might but what was great was that he did the same thing back and I knew we were far from where we use to be but we will work on it together and be better than ever.
